Host-specific platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase selectively remodels diacylglycerophospholipids to control schistosome development

Johanna Ertl, Ulrich Fabien Prodjinotho, Zhigang Rao, A Anisuzzaman, Julia Schluckebier, Youssef Hamway, Paula Baar, Haifu Zhao, Martin Haslbeck, Christoph G. Grevelding, Simone Haeberlein, Franco Harald Falcone, Sabine Schulz, Andreas Koeberle, Clarissa Prazeres da Costa

This study identifies host-derived PAFAH as a schistosomicidal phospholipase that remodels diacylglycerophospholipids, impairing schistosome development and survival.
